How did you copy and paste that manpage? Are you using a Windows telnet or ssh client? If not, which terminal *are* you using? Does this persist between gonme-terminal, xterm, and the Linux console (press CTRL-Alt-F1 to log in). Can you post the output of echo $LANG and echo $TERM, letting us know which terminal you are using? Thanks, James. -- E-mail address: james@ | "Right lads, we've got 45 minutes to score 37 goals. westexe.demon.co.uk | No problem with that -- the other team just did."
